After your first couple of years, you\u2019ll start seeing that your upgrades are easier, there\u2019s less customization, there\u2019s less cost, and less maintenance and you can utilize and facilitate the business more appropriately utilizing SOA&#8230; The wins? They are most always in the user front end, where you can get creative and combine traditionally siloed data or simply put a new face on a traditional back-end providing improved usability or intuitiveness. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
